It first flew in 1945 and was delivered to US forces in Korea in January 1951. The veteran who piloted this H13, Second Lieutenant Byron Howlett, Jr., was stationed with the 46th Surgical Hospital MASH, near the Punch Bowl. He flew through monsoons and freezing weather to deliver patients to hospitals. Bell H-13 Sioux Originally designed as a single engine, light helicopter for use by civilians, the Bell H-13 Sioux first flew on December 8, 1945 as the Bell 47 prototype. Later re-designated H-13 by the United States Army Air Forces, the improved aircraft was used as an observation and basic training helicopter. The design is characterized by a full bubble canopy, skid landing gear and welded-tube tail boom. It has two high-level mounted saddle fuel tanks and a two bladed single rotor. The H-13 was immortalized by the long-running television show M.A.S.H., where it was portrayed in its role as a medevac aircraft.
